[QUOTE="Aberzanzorax, post: 5800652, member: 64209"] They darn well better do it. I'm a (bit of a) player of 4e (though I prefer 3e, 3.5, and pathfinder). I'm not terribly invested in 4e as a system, though I don't want it to "die", and I DO want 4e players to continue to be able to enjoy the game (and for my own 4e group, I also have those selfish motives). But, primarily, I don't actually care *that much* about the 4e system. If it were wiped from the Earth, I'd be ok with it, personally, in that I wouldn't miss it. (I'd have my Pathfinder and other 3e games to enjoy). [COLOR=deepskyblue][B]But, here's the BIG thing...the whole point of this post....If WotC abandons 4e, I'll never buy any 5e stuff from them.[/B][/COLOR] If I know that I can come to rely upon a digital subscription, and it is one that disappears, then I'll not ever buy in to that subscription. I don't have a personal investment in 4e, but I'll be watching [I]very closely with what they do with it, and how they treat its fans[/I]. If they want me back for 5e, they damn well better not squash 4e (or I know what's coming next after 5e turns to 6e and expect them to squash 5e). So, from a person who really isn't that big a fan of 4e, WotC, please continue to support it digitally (whether that's a bundle single purchase of all products instead of continuing montly support, I don't care). I just don't want to, when 5e is released, hear how WotC tried to destroy 4e so everyone would play 5e....because that is EXACTLY what would prevent me from playing 5e (and, again, I don't even really care about 4e). EDIT TO ADD: I hope it's clear that this post isn't to rag on 4e, but to point out that continued 4e support is important to someone who isn't emotionally invested in that edition. I'd imagine for the folks who are invested, and indeed it's their favorite edition, that it's even more important. [/QUOTE]
